Lorge also was the first major party candidate to state that the only path to permanent peace in Iraq is to partition the country into 3 to 5 independent democratic nations: a Kurdistan in the north, a Sunni-land (Sunnia) in the Sunni triangle, and one or two separate Shiite-lands in the 10 provinces in the south along the Tigris and Euphrates river valleys, and a trans-Saudi-Jordanian area in what is primarily the western provinces including Al Anbar province. This idea has now been modified and also proposed by Senator Joseph Biden and others.
